Thread regarding Centene Corp. layoffs

@dt I am so very sorry to hear that. No one deserves ever to be treated with such lack of sensitivity or respect.

@OP no use it now

@ae you have to work the last two weeks to get paid. Burn up your time now prior to whatever your last day is.

@b3 THANK YOU! I swear our fellow employee's do not read or comprehend what their benefits even are. Its safe to say, for most, you get nothing AND there IS a mandatory you have to be on the clock working, the last two weeks to get paid. NOT burn up your vacation or sick time to the last day........There are really no state laws that say any company MUST give you any kind of severance package either. That is another educational rant.

They will make false claims and document lies on year end and weekly meetings then fire you after over working you and then laugh during the termination meeting Laura c laughed during my termination meeting as I was crying g

@bb report them to the FWA department. It might not stop them but it feels good to rattle their cage.

No vacation or sick time is paid at departure

I hope my PL gets canned. I believe she is committing payroll fraud, time off fraud. I do not think it is the first time. There is a group of managers within the department known as the Michigan Mafia. They are a close knit group of managers and coworkers who have been stealing time for about 3 years.

@a2 What package? They asked about layoffs, not a VSP. You and the people upvoting your comment need to read lol.

Just a friendly FYI — whether your accrued PTO gets paid out when you leave is completely dependent on your state. Centene’s Employee Handbook says PTO will not be paid out at termination unless your state legally requires it. So, it isn’t automatic; it’s based on your state’s laws.

Strict Mandate States:

• California: Prohibits "use-it-or-lose-it" policies; all earned and unused PTO must be paid out on the final day.
• Colorado: Treats accrued vacation as wages that must be fully paid upon separation.
• Montana: Forbids forfeiting earned time off and mandates a payout at termination.
• Nebraska: Requires all earned, unused vacation or PTO to be paid out upon separation.

Conditional or Policy-Dependent States:

• New York & Ohio: Require payouts of accrued unused PTO unless a clear, written company policy explicitly states it will be forfeited.
• Louisiana & Illinois: Mandate the payout of accrued, unused vacation time upon termination regardless of the reason for leaving.

If it’s not paid out sure use all you can! I have a 08/27 severance date and my state does pay out PTO guess I stack it until I am let go.

the policy is in Archer. it's not in the employee handbook.

that said, PTO and sick time is not paid out unless mandated by the state in which you reside.

@a2 you should really take the time to read the post

You should really take time to read your VSP PACAKAGE
